Despite a touch of monotony, Age of Conan's atmospheric first expansion is an absolute delight.
The Good
* The new areas are gorgeous and well realized
* Excellent new dungeons and boss fights
* Great quest writing gets you involved
* Awesome new music
* Flexible alternate advancement system.
The Bad
* Gaining faction favor can be a grind
* Meaningful rewards are slow to come
* Not much for players between levels 40 and 80.
ts 2008 launch was plagued with various fits and starts, but the grimly gorgeous Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures was a brutal and atmospheric dark pearl among fantasy online role-playing games. In the years since, developer Funcom has plugged in most of its gaps, giving the game's first expansion, Rise of the Godslayer, room to shine in its own right. Players between levels 40 and 80 may feel left out in the Frost Swamp, but newer players--and veterans looking to reroll a new character--will enjoy the scenic new lands in the Gateway to Khitai. And if you've reached Age of Conan's level cap and don't mind some tedious grinding, there are plenty of violent pleasures waiting in the new high-level areas. If you've strayed from Age of Conan's blood-smeared trail, Rise of the Godslayer is the reason to return to the service of the Aquilonian king.
